○ all - or - nothing

Explanation:

First Question (Alzheimer's Disease)

Alzheimer's disease primarily affects the hippocampus, which is crucial for memory and cognitive function. The hypothalamus regulates hormones, the amygdala is for emotions, and the cerebellum for motor control—none are as predominantly affected as the hippocampus in Alzheimer's.

In psychology, a "set" refers to what a person expects from a stimulus (a mental predisposition). A schema is a mental framework for knowledge, a stimulus is the input, and gradient is unrelated here.

The opponent - process theory explains afterimages (like seeing complementary colors after staring at a color). Rod - cone is about photoreceptors, trichromatic about three color receptors, and all - or - nothing about neural firing—opponent - process fits the afterimage scenario.

Answer:

B. hippocampus
